             Summary: Records from internal repartitioning topics should always 
use RecordMetadataTimestampExtractor
                 Key: KAFKA-4785
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4785
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: streams
    Affects Versions: 0.10.2.0
            Reporter: Matthias J. Sax


Users can specify what timestamp extractor should be used to decode the 
timestamp of input topic records. As long as RecordMetadataTimestamp or 
WallclockTime is use this is fine. 

However, for custom timestamp extractors it might be invalid to apply this 
custom extractor to records received from internal repartitioning topics. The 
reason is that Streams sets the current "stream time" as record metadata 
timestamp explicitly before writing to intermediate repartitioning topics 
because this timestamp should be use by downstream subtopologies. A custom 
timestamp extractor might return something different breaking this assumption.
